2 The interface between ALMA and the astronomy community is provided by the three ALMA Regional Centres (ARCs), in Europe, North America and East Asia. ALMA Regional Centres

3 The European ARC has the responsibility of providing scientific user support to the European astronomical community. European s

4 Tasks of the ARC nodes Face-to-face user support with proposal preparation; face-to-face help with data reduction, including also expert support in data processing for specialized observing techniques; help in archival research, including assistance to users of the ALMA archive in identifying and using the data products suitable for their scientific projects; community development and outreach. Each node has its own area(s) of expertise: Array combination: IRAM, UK Spectral line surveys/identification: German, Allegro High dynamic range imaging & simulations: UK, Nordic High frequency observing & application of WVRs: Allegro Variable and moving sources: Nordic, Bologna Solar observations:

5 The ARC node should provide regional support to applicants from countries of the Central and Eastern European region. It will provide especially the following services: scientific and technical support to ALMA users, especially: Solar, galactic, extra-galactic and relativistic astrophysics; laboratory measurements of molecular spectral lines; observation planning, data quality check; data storage and processing, data reduction using CASA. Our node (present status) We have office for up to 3 ALMA visitors. We arranged cheap accommodation for visitors in guest rooms of Astronomical Institute at Ondrejov. Hardware Three PC, Linux, Intel, memory 8GB, disks 1 TB, 24 screen.

6 ALMA Node

7 Our Node is new starting in January 2010 (10 people) Miroslav Barta: head, CASA, AOT, integrated tests, Imaging Group EACIG, solar research Marian Karlicky: solar research Bartosz Dabrowski: CASA, AOT, integrated tests, Imaging Group EACIG, solar research Roman Brajsa: solar radio astronomy, solar ALMA test observations Pavel Jachym: AOT, integrated tests, galactic research Devaky Kunneriath: galactic centre science, radio astronomy Stanislav Stefl: stay at ALMA, Chile, stellar research Michaela Kraus: stellar radio astronomy Stepan Urban: molecular spectroscopy Jiri Polach: computers, Internet ARC Team

8 Bartosz Dabrowski Marian Karlicky Pavel Jachym Devaky Kunneriath Miroslav Barta

9 First CASA tests using solar radio data; presentation about ARC node and solar research at international conferences; contact support scientist for one project of Cycle 0 and Cycle 1; local ESO-ALMA node meetings; local school about preparation of ALMA proposals; wikipedia ALMA webpages to and Polish languages; papers about ALMA in and Polish journal; lectures about ALMA ( Republic, Slovakia, Poland); building of new room for ALMA visitors; the paper titled Solar research with ALMA, Solar Physics, 2011; participation in several official tests of CASA, Imaging Group EACIG and OT, Single Dish Group; participation in ALMA Community Days 2011 and 2012 at Garching, OT Tutor.
